Theresa May’s Brexit revisions appear headed for defeat in British House vote
A video grab from footage broadcast by the UK Parliament's Parliamentary Recording Unit (PRU) shows Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May gesturing as she speaks at the start of the debate on the second meaningful vote on the government's Brexit deal, in the House of Commons in London on March 12, 2019. - British Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal suffered a major blow hours before a historic vote on March 12 when her chief attorney ruled that risks from its most contentious points remained "unchanged". Parliament's failure to back the divorce terms threatens to unleash economic chaos because Britain might then simply crash out of the European Union after 46 years on March 29.
